Post setlists, pics, videos and reviews. Do not post if you did not attend the show. Also, in light of the fact that three hot chicks attended the show wearing nothing but body paint and everyone in NIN: Access lost their shit over it, tag your images as NSFW if you post a shot from the front. Pics of the girls from behind is perfectly OK and can be shared.

Example: this is what a tagged image should look like HOT CHICKS WITH TRENT ON THEIR BOOBS NSFW

Play nice.

After weeks of anticipation I was totally let down by the lack of 'more obscure' material played at this show..

Did anyone happen to get any photos of the insane dancing suspender dude dancing around on the walkway between the lawn and pavilion? This guy was the highlight of the Jane's set.

ever feel like you've been cheated?

No "last"
No "heresy"
No "Somewhat damaged"
No "physical"
No "reptile"
No "Mr. Self Destruct"
No "suck"
No "Ruiner"
No "Big man with a gun"
No "I'm afraid of Americans"

Did I really just drop $100 to see the same mediocre set list I've seen ten times before?!!!!

Maybe if I sleep it will dissipate the rage...

Good: Beautiful weather for an outdoor show! Trent & Justin really feeling it tonight! Threw guitars, mics & stands, and waterbottles. Very awesome! Trent was somewhat talkative too, he had a funny speech about NIN's music not being played at night. Better DTE crowd than '06, a lot of dancing and good times. From all of the filming I saw going on there should be some decent footage from the "donors" on stage and the seats. NIN opening-->TL = EPIC!

Bad: I won't lie, except for Non-Entity, Sin, and a slightly reworked Survivalism, I was a bit dismayed by the setlist. Old idiots in row ahead of me complained all through LITS about how NIN was boring them and then had the nerve to whistle and cheer at the end. But, of course, they really dug THTF.

Sadly this was the only show I could make it to this tour for reasons I won't go into. The energy was there and the sound was great as I expect from NIN shows. I stood next to a guy recording and a woman who was taking video, and it was nice to not have to be clandestine about such things so I pulled out my iPod and recorded too. I'll have to see if there's a way to fix it as it sounds like the bass on the PA overloaded my tiny microphone.

As for being cheated, I dunno. It's not like he tried to play any songs I dislike (in NIN, there are very few). To piss me off he'd probably have to play Purest Feeling followed by some of his Option 30 material. I would have loved some of these other songs to be played but in the time allotted, there's no way I could walk away saying, "I wish he'd played xxxxx", so I'll just not say it.

I do wish NIN played longer. I know this venue has a 11pm cut off time (unless that was changed last year or this year) so it was very frustrating to see NIN play such a short set and then Jane's end 30 minutes early.

I was not expecting Street Sweeper Social Club to be as awesome as they were, either. But they certainly were!

Corrected set list (taken from a recording, so I know it's accurate)

Now I'm Nothing
Terrible Lie
Sin
March of the Pigs
Piggy
The Frail
The Wretched
Discipline
Burn
Gave Up
La Mer
Lights in the Sky
Non-Entity
The Downward Spiral
Wish
Survivalism
The Hand that Feeds
Head Like a Hole

Well I had a terrific time. I never stress over setlists. I always enjoy whatever line-up of songs he chooses to play. But still, I loved the opening. I did dare to hope for Now, I'm Nothing/Terrible Lie, I must admit. And I got it!

AND we got LITS, (I know the friend I was with, Notequilanomatches, had her fingers crossed for that one.) which I'd been hoping for all last year and never got.

For me, the night kept going on an incredible high note. I'd never seen JA live before! What an incredible introduction to them live! They were smokin' hot.

The whole night was great. And, oh yeah I got to hug Trent and he smelled good.

Agreed. All three bands were amazing. Thank you all. And yes, you're right, he did smell good. : )

was hoping to run into 1 or 2 ETS'ers (it was quite a hike home)

Too much gear, too many people to begin looking...besides the 500 pound woman and the drunken gorilla next to me...my audio turned out quite well for being an outdoor venue (yeah i even offered people some audio for a ride heh)

Trent sounded sick? Good show...and Janes was amazing...playing a Kiss teaser for the Detroit crowd...nice show...looking forward to pittsburg

Shot entire NIN set in HD, majority is great footage minus the jack-ass next to me bumping into me and asking me to move over 3 times (yeah you can hear him clearly ask me "hey...you gunna put that up in youtube?" and "heysss this yers?"...and watermelon head in front of me i had to shoot around

Splitting tracks now...going to upload onto DIME and Halo-zero if anyones interested...great show, i was happy with the setlist Smile

Ah, hugging Trent today rocked.. Smile I went with my concert buddy Usman and my once thought "trip from hell" turned into a hell of a lot of fun. Plus, we got to drink lots of TGIF Mudslides. Mmm... (Hey, we're Canadian, we can't get those often)

Yeah, the setlist wasn't over the top but it was Fragile heavy and that made me happy. I watched one song from backstage but figured it would be WAY better to run out front to see it from my 6th row seat. I am so glad I did although my god, it took me almost 2 songs to get there!

I love the venue but wow, you don't get far too fast.. Talk about serious congestion.

Now with the meet and greets - of course meeting the band is awesome and it is truly admirable that they do all of this but GOD DAMN was the food good. I picked up fish by accident and thought "oh man, I'll have to throw this out." Then I tasted it and my god, I ate it all. Yes, I ate fish that was not sushi. It's funny, everyone was talking about how good the food was. There wasn't anything we tried that was bad.

The soundcheck was super awesome and low key. It was a bit more intimate than the soundcheck I saw in 2005 at the Air Canada Centre.

I'll have pics tomorrow once I get home to Toronto. Can't wait to share! I got a new camera so hopefully I'll get some great ones.

Also, a shout out to Julie (Mmm..cupcakes) and Alexa, Dave and his girlfriend, Frederik and David and all the others we hung out with whose name I may have forgotten at 2am! It was great to hang out. That's half the fun, seeing people at shows multiple times and hanging out as if we've known each other a long time.

But most of all, thanks to the guys for taking the time to meet with us, help save Eric's life and putting on a great show. The energy was great and the 5 hour drive was worth it. Smile

Sigh. What a horrible setlist I felt like I was at a Tool show.not to mention I missed the first 3 songs on the way in. Managed to tap most of nin and all of janes from front row. full review(bitching) and audio and photos later.

Show was okay. Was hoping for something like The Becoming or Mr. Self Destruct, but it's whatever. I really enjoyed the La Mer/LITS/Non-Entity/TDS bit of the show quite a bit more than everything around it, so I'm glad we at least got those songs.

I also liked SSSC and Jane's a lot more than I thought I would, so I was happy about that.

Overall, it was a good show, but I'm going to be disappointed if that's the last NIN show I ever see.

NIN > JA. All the time, the energy for their live show is no match to any other show I have ever seen. NOW I'M NOTHING tonight!!!!! I was pumped as hell to hear that one! Also after about a million shows I have been to of NIN I FINALLY get to hear SIN!!!! SOOOO DIRTY!!!! For all the people who think that the set was "too short" or "not enough solid tracks" I don't think this show was standard at all. I think you got a good taste of the records and I could hear every song a million times live and each time I would still get as pumped as the last time I heard the song. TR throwing his guitar at the end of HLAH... fuckin sweet!

Best recording I have ever done, sat front of the soundboard and put my mics on the side of my head to give the stereo separation. I think you can really hear it in the sample of "The Downward Spiral" here.

seriously, TR making a relaxed taping policy is the fuckin' man. Nothing else can describe it. I don't have to sneak gear in and I can actually ENJOY THE SHOW!! DAMN what a great 3 days. I cannot wait until next weekend for Holmdel and Jones Beach!!! Yeah YEA!!!!!

I only had two problems with this show:

1. The setlist wasn't as heavy on rare tracks as I'd have liked.
2. I didn't find out about the body paint girls until this morning.

But see, neither of those are that big of a deal for me. NIN as a band gives 100% every time they go out there and we didn't get any less. Yes, the set is songs we've all heard before. But honestly, at this point, I don't care. The band could play pretty much anything and as long as they give it 100% like always, I think it'll come out ok.

SSCC was awesome. "I'm tired of people saying our guitarist is trying to sound like Tom Morello." They had a great energy/vibe to them and the songs are pretty good. I wish they had some merch besides the shirt with the boom box gun turret logo on it, but it's all good.

And it's clear to me why Jane's was always known for their live show. It wasn't all that flashy, but they rocked the place. The lights were cool and the songs were tight. The basketball/red wings thing was funny.

All in all, I think this was probably the best overall concert I've been to. All three bands were good and kicked ass.
